In reply to the discussion: AP SOURCES: KEY ROLE FOR CLINTON AT DEM CONVENTION [View all]Drunken Irishman
(34,857 posts)6. What deal?
What deal can they make? Hillary would've been free to run in 2016 with or without Obama's support. It's unlikely Biden will run, considering his age and lack of major appeal, and the Democratic nominee is selected through primary status nowadays, so, it's not like Obama could promise her the nomination. Sure, he could throw support behind her, but who are we kidding - Hillary in 2016 would be the favorite with, or without, Obama's support.
